Canucks' Boeser named MVP of 2018 NHL All-Star Game

But after a spectacular first half of the season, the Canucks rookie was an easy choice to make the team. The only first-year All-Star playing on Sunday, Boeser stood out from the crowd, being named MVP.

The MVP Award was decided by fans on social media, by using the hashtag #NHLMVPBoeser. Given that Boeser Mania is running wild in Vancouver (and elsewhere, perhaps), we shouldn’t be surprised that he garnered the most votes.

As part of winning the MVP award, Boeser receives a brand new car – a 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid. Not only that, but because Boeser’s team won the All-Star tournament, he’ll split a $1 million cheque with his teammates.
